Encrypted and obfuscation WebShell detection for high-speed network traffic by Yihuai CAO, Wei CHEN, Fan ZHANG, Lifa WU

“…With the gradual development of traffic encryption and text obfuscation technologies, it is increasingly difficult to prevent complicated and malicious WebShell attack events in production environment using traditional detection methods based on text content and network flow features, especially for adversarial samples, variant samples and 0Day vulnerability samples.With the established network traffic collection environment, DPDK technology was used to capture network traffic in the high-speed network environment, and a dataset was marked with label.The dataset consisted of more than 24,000 normal traffic and more than 10,000 malicious WebShell traffic under different platforms, different languages, different tools, different encryption and obfuscation methods.Then Asynchronous traffic analysis system framework and lightweight log collection components were used to efficiently parse raw traffic.Expert knowledge was integrated to analyze HTTP data packets during the communication process of several popular WebShell management tools, and the effective feature set for encrypted and obfuscation WebShell was obtained.Support Vector Machine (SVM) algorithm was used to realize offline training and online detection of complicated WebShell malicious traffic based on the effective feature set.Meanwhile, improving the parameter search method with the genetic algorithm promoted the model training efficiency furthermore.The experimental results showed that the detection efficiency can be guaranteed based on the self-built WebShell attack traffic dataset.Besides, the detection model has a precision rate of 97.21% and a recall rate of 98.01%, and it performed well in the comparative experiments of adversarial WebShell attacks.It can be concluded from the results that the proposed method can significantly reduce the risk of WebShell attack, effectively supplement the existing security monitoring system, and be applied in real network environments.…”

New image encryption algorithm based on double chaotic system and compressive sensing by Yuguang YANG, Guodong CAO

“…Image encryption technology plays an important role in today’s multimedia applications and Internet information security transmission.However, most image encryption algorithms still have problems, for example, cipher images occupied high bandwidth during transmission, image encryption speed is slow, image encryption algorithms are not associated with plain image, and there is no complete ciphertext feedback mechanism.These problems all affect the security and easy use of image encryption algorithms.In order to solve the above problems, the compressive sensing technology and chaotic system were studied, and a new image encryption algorithm based on double chaotic system and compressive sensing with plaintext association was proposed.The plaintext image association key was used to associate the plain image hash value with the Logistic chaotic system parameters.Discrete wavelet transform, was used to sparse the plain image.Then the random measurement matrix was generated by the Logistic chaos system, and the image was encrypted once by combining the compressive sensing technique and the random measurement matrix to obtain the intermediate image.The intermediate image was hashed again, and the Rucklidge chaos system initial value was associated with the plain image hash value together.The Rucklidge chaotic system and encryption algorithm were used to control the intermediate image for secondary encryption and accordingly obtain the cipher image.The encryption algorithm was a new plaintext correlation encryption algorithm, which used the image’s own pixel value to control the scrambling of the intermediate image.It also enhanced the plaintext association and established a ciphertext feedback mechanism.Simulation results and performance analysis show that the algorithm has good encryption performance.The encrypted image can be compressed according to the compression ratio, effectively reducing the size of the cipher image.Moreover, it is resistant to common attacks such as known plaintext attack, selective plaintext attack and differential attack, which is better than other common image encryption algorithms.…”
